March 23, 2015

Take your traditional Easter brunch to the next level with some stunning decor ideas and recipes! Here are some of our favorite ideas to inspire and as a great starting point for you to start planning for your celebration.

Start off with an Eggciting Place Card

Wow from the beginning by adding a festive touch to your spread with a fun personalized place setting like one of these Easter egg-inspired place cards from Celebrations.com.

Alternatively, you can brighten up your spread by setting a vibrant treat such as these Easter Candied Apples on each guests’ place setting. Keep them in the wrapping and it’ll even serve as a fun party favor!

Bountiful Brunch Foods

Whip up some homemade traditional brunch foods like these berry scones from Celebrations.com. Make a variety of flavors so guests not only have more variety but also to add some color to the spread!

Alternatively, if you don’t feel like baking from scratch, our gourmet Brunch Market Box has all of the supplies and ingredients you need to create a stunning brunch spread including pancake, waffle AND scone mix for easy baking!

Creative Centerpieces

Wow guests with gorgeous Easter decor like this DIY Carrot Vase centerpiece idea. It’s amazing how something so simple can be so stunning!

Alternatively, you can even use a beautifully put-together Easter Basket as a centerpiece. Turn it into a fun activity by handing out raffle tickets and the winning ticket gets to take the basket centerpiece home!

Festive Sips

The food is important, but don’t forget to jazz up the drinks as well! We love this layered punch which is reminiscent of a stunning sunrise – perfect for an early Easter brunch.

Darling Desserts

Even brunches should end on a sweet note! For a fun Easter dessert, whip up a batch of these “surprise” Easter egg-inspired treats from Celebrations.com!
